1 quick tip for fixing your 3rd shot drop! by Zane Navratil Pickleball

Zane Navratil emphasizes that the 3rd shot drop isn't a unique shot but rather an extension of the dink.

He suggests players view the dink as a short drop shot, with mid-court being a medium drop shot, and the baseline being a long drop shot.

The technique remains consistent across these shots, with your follow-through only changing.

Zane compares this to basketball players who maintain the same shooting form regardless of their distance from the hoop.

He encourages players to focus on consistent technique for all drop shots, adjusting only the force applied.

Key Points:

• The third shot drop is essentially a long dink.

• Technique consistency is crucial across all shots.

• Only the energy or force applied should vary based on distance.

• Keeping the paddle in vision helps maintain a consistent swing.
